HAIR-CUTTING DEVICE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 23, 1909.

Application filed March 26, 1908. -Serial No. 423,347.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTONIO LANCEL- LOT'IE, citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair Cutting Devices, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to attachments for hair cutting, and the ob'ectthereof is to provide a device which \vili render hair cutting, or moreparticularly the trimming of the a s a u 1 hair, a simple and easyoperation, and which will enable such operation to be moresatisfactorily accomplished.

My invention resides broadly in the )rovision of unimproved hairtrimming device consisting of a razor and a frame for holding the same,embodying a toothed blade having means for clasping the razor inconnection therewith and against its teeth in order to cut the raggedends of the hair projecting between the teeth, as the same are drawnthrough the hair, and improved means for adjusting the razor upon saidtoothed blade in order to vary the cut of the same.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,Figure] is an elevation illustrating the practical application of myimproved hair trimming device. Fig. 2 is a central verticalcross-sectional view taken through my improved hair cutting device. Fig.3 is an elevation of the tooth holding blade, and Fig. 4 is an elevationof the ad'usting blade.

In t e practical embodiment of my inven tion, I provide a plate 5,having its lower longitudinal edge provided with a series of teeth 6,and provided with its upperlongitudinal edge cut away, said upper edgehaving a pair of integral pieces 7, bent back thereon to form slpringcli is and being provided with a centra upstan ing tongue 8, bent to anobtuse angle with relation to the plane of the plate 5, and providedwith a central threaded opening therein. Mounted through the saidopening in the extension 8, is an externally and internall threadedtubular nut locked centra ly through said opening by nuts 10, securedthereon, above and below said extension 8 and bearing thereagainst.

A second plate 11, shown in Fig. 4, is formed of spring sheet metal, asis the plate 5, said )late 11 having end wings 12 bent from its odyportion to form s ring clips for engaggment about the back e ge of arazor blade and said plate 11 further having a central upwardlyextending tongue 13 provided with an angular extension having a central0 ening therein. The plate 11 constitutes a c amping and adjusting platefor the razor blade B of the ordinary razor embodying also a handle A towhich the blade B is swingingly connected.

After having the clamping and adjusting palate 11 inserted thereupon,the razor blade is adapted to be placed upon the toothed plate 5 andwithin and under the spring cli s thereof, and so positioned thereonthat t e opening through the extension tongue 13 is in alinement beneaththe tubular nut 9. An adjusting screw 14, is ada ted for threadedengagement through the tu )ular nut 9 and is provided with a centrallongitudinal bore 11 on its inner end, adapted for the reception o ascrew 15, previously projected loosely and upwardly through the openingin the said extension tongue 13 with its headed end below said tongue.It will thus be seen that the razor blade B is clamped by the plate 11to rovide for its adjustment upon the toot ed plate D, while held inposition upon said plate with its sharpened edge against the teeth 6thereof by means of the spring clips 7. The adjustment of the blade B isaccomplished by rotating the adjusting screw 14, which upon one rotationwill he forced downwardly upon the extension tongue 13, and uponrotation in the op ositc direction, will draw the same upwar y by meansof the head ed screw 15, carried thereby.

llaving described In invention, 1 claim:

1. In a hair-cuttin evice of the character described, the com iinationwith a razor blade, of a toothed plate havin spring clips for engagementwith said blade, an provided with an extension plate, an adjusti 0 late,adapted for engagement upon sai lilade, and adjustable elementsconnecting said adjusting plate and said extension plate for ad ustingsaid razor blade upon said toothed plate, substantially as described.

2. In a hair cutting device of the character described, the combinationwith a raaor blade, of a toothed late having spring clips for holdingsaid bla e, and provided with an extension plate, an adjustin plateadapted for engagement with said b ade, a tubular threaded nut lockedwith and extension plate,- and an adjusting screw operatmg through saidtubular nut and rotatively connected to said adjusting plate foradjustini said razor blade upon said toothed plate, 10

an stantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
